2014 CTC: The MEAC (3/15)
I feel like I use this post every year as a platform to go off about all the things I don’t like about the MEAC. And, I guess this year will be no different. And, this, from a guy that … Continue reading
2014 CTC: The SWAC (3/15)
The SWAC is terrible…again. I understand the draw of this conference and its importance to the cultural landscape of sports, but it really doesn’t belong in D-I because (a) they just can’t get quality players and (b) they can’t keep … Continue reading

CTC Day Ten: Stumpf Breaks 200 to win Day Ten; Mac Takes a Rather Commanding Lead in the Overall Standings

2014 CTC: The Patriot League (FINAL)
One of the oldest, most stable leagues in the country joined the expansion train this year, when the old-school Patriot League added two new members. But, as usual, the PL acted prudently, as they didn’t just grab whoever was out … Continue reading
2014 CTC Day Nine: Doogan, GrossJr, and Stritts Tie for the Win on a Quiet Day Nine; Mac Rises Up to Force a Flat-Footed Tie with Colton for the Overall Lead
